And the woman you saw The "woman" in this passage is a symbolic figure, often interpreted as representing a corrupt system or entity. In the context of Revelation, she is depicted as a harlot, which in biblical symbolism often represents unfaithfulness to God. The Greek word for "woman" here is "γυνή" (gynē), which can mean a literal woman or be used metaphorically. This imagery draws from the prophetic tradition of the Old Testament, where cities or nations unfaithful to God are often personified as women who have turned away from their covenant relationship with Him. The vision of the woman is part of John's apocalyptic revelation, which uses vivid imagery to convey spiritual truths. is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth "She who was named Eternal, and arrayed Her warriors but to conquer--she Who veiled Earth with her haughty shadow and displayed Until the o'er canopied horizon failed Her rushing wings--Oh! she who was Almighty hailed." Verse 18. - And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. A repetition of the assertion made in ver. 5, viz. that the harlot and Babylon are identical (see on ver. 5). Many writers have been led by this verse to believe that Rome, either pagan or papal, is thus pointed out as the antitype of the harlot. That this is one fulfilment of the vision need hardly be doubted. Rome was in St. John's time the foremost embodiment of the hostile forces of the world. But this is not the whole fulfilment, which is in all time (see above, especially on ver. 1 of this chapter).
